Poland - concentration of Labour Office mainly in relation to intermediate jobs, very good counselling system in place under the participation of University educated psychologists in each Labour Office. Turkey central managed employment system practically under the state organization control, very well organized system of technical education, a huge amount time devoted to the development of enterpreneurial subjects and accession to European Union. Czech Republic - after the reorganization of Labour Offices in the Czech Republic there is not enough time for mediation and counselling activities, quite shortage of specialists (psychologists), non-quality education system with a much reduced early school leaving in comparison to other EU countries., expensive and non-motivated social system.
